Mario Piperni on Baggers, Wingers, and Birthers

IMPEACH THE BLACK GUY! IMPEACH THE BLACK GUY!

Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold was conducting a townhall meeting in Luling, Texas two days ago, when a loon asked him if the congressman was ready to support a motion to impeach Barack Obama on the grounds that the President had committed birther fraud was black. Farenthold responds and in the process does the party of bigots and idiots proud.

As Steve Benen points out, what is extraordinary here is that the Republican congressman makes no attempt to justify why it is he wishes to impeach President Obama. It appears that when addressing BWBs (baggers, wingers and birthers), simply stating that you want to impeach the President is enough to satisfy that crowd of bloodthirsty crazies. No valid cause for impeachment required. Say that you want to do bad things to Obama and you’re guaranteed that the crowd goes home happy.

The following YouTube comment on Blake Farenthold made from someone who goes by the handle, dayglowgreendoor , made me laugh. Yes, I know that stereotyping in a bad thing, but I laughed anyway. Sorry.
